Upon hearing this, Su Jing immediately understood.
Huo Shiqian couldn't possibly have any feelings for Cheng Zaozao, so she subconsciously glanced at Zhan Yin.
One of the cooks was busy cooking and seemed not to hear their chatter.
"We're having a nice meal, why are you all pressuring us to get married?" Qiao Wanwan said. "Our family values freedom, so we don't pressure people to get married. It's not illegal to never get married."
“Wanwan is right.” Huo Shiqian was almost clapping. “Not getting married is not illegal, and there should be no more pressure to get married in Wutong Bay.”
Su Jing was open-minded. "Okay, anyway, I already have three precious grandchildren, so it doesn't matter whether you get married or not."
Huo Shiqian: "..."
"Who's getting married?" Zhan Yin asked. "Brother Shi Qian, are you getting married?"
Everyone: "......"
Qiao Wanwan smiled gently, "Everyone's been urging you to get married."
"What a joke!" Zhan Yin's lips twitched. "Is the food not appetizing enough or the game not fun enough? You're actually thinking of getting married?"
Cheng Zaozao also spoke up at the right time, "I also think that young people should focus on their careers."
Now that both parties have made their statements clear, no one will try to play matchmaker anymore.
After dinner, Qiao Wanwan took Zhan Jingting's hand and went for a walk in the garden.
"Huh?" Qiao Wanwan sniffed the man. "Why do you smell so strongly of medicine?"
Zhan Jingting came out of the Ghost Hand Doctor's place and started eating dinner without taking a shower or changing his clothes. Naturally, he smelled of medicine on his body.
"The old man prescribed new medicine, and I drank a bowl of it when I came back, so it tastes like medicine."
"I see," Qiao Wanwan said. "Then you must drink it on time."
"I will."
Zhan Jingting wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back down.
......
In the dead of night, all is quiet.
In the darkness, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes!
He held back, barely daring to breathe, and gently pulled his arm out from under Qiao Wanwan's neck.
After closing the bathroom door, the man rushed to the sink and could no longer control himself!
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood splattered onto the mirror in front of him, looking bloody and terrifying.
Zhan Jingting pressed his hand to his heart, enduring the excruciating pain to keep himself from crying out!
His hands trembled as he took out the medicine from his pocket and swallowed two pills, but it was no use at all!
Zhan Jingting couldn't bear the pain at all. Soon, he curled up on the ground, trembling with pain!
This must be the side effect the old man was talking about.
Zhan Jingting clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to make a sound.
It's worth it. As long as I can stay by Qiao Wanwan's side and see her radiant smile, even the pain is worth it...
When Qiao Wanwan woke up, Zhan Jingting was fast asleep beside her.
Qiao Wanwan didn't wake him. She kissed the man's lips, then lifted the covers and got up.
She went to the bathroom to wash up and was brushing her teeth when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
As the new generation of the Ghost Hand Doctor, she grew up smelling all kinds of medicines, and her nose is more sensitive than that of ordinary people.
At this moment, she didn't smell the medicine, but rather a faint smell of blood.
Qiao Wanwan turned off the electric toothbrush, looked around, and found no bloodstains.
She thought she had smelled something wrong, so she stopped looking and went back to brushing her teeth and washing up.
When Zhan Jingting woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
After washing up, he went downstairs and went straight to see the "Ghost Hand Doctor" to tell him what had happened the night before.
The legendary healer took his pulse and said, "Jingting, I can't hide it from you, something is definitely wrong with you."
Zhan Jingting immediately asked, "If Wanwan were to take my pulse, would she be able to tell?"
“She could tell that the pulse was unstable.”
“So from now on, I can’t let her take my pulse anymore,” Zhan Jingting said. “Grandpa, since I don’t have much time left anyway, I’ll have to trouble you to put in some extra effort to suppress my symptoms.”
“I controlled the dosage of the medicine I gave you yesterday, but you not only vomited blood, but you were also in unbearable pain, so I can’t increase the dosage any further.”
Zhan Jingting pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's maintain the original dosage. As long as I can face Wanwan and the child properly during the day and not vomit blood in front of them and scare them, I'm fine with anything."
The quack doctor sighed helplessly, "Alright, go eat something first, I'll give you the medicine later."
"good."
At night, Zhan Jingting was awakened by pain again!
Just like yesterday, he coughed up blood and then suffered excruciating pain!
To keep himself from making a sound, he bit down on a towel, curled up on the ground, and endured the pain, waiting for it to subside.
Large beads of sweat seeped out, quickly soaking the man's hair!
Zhan Jingting felt that each day was like a year, and that he was even worse off than dead.
But when he thought of Qiao Wanwan's smiling face and the children's innocent smiles, he felt that being able to spend one more day with them was a blessing from heaven.
I don't know how much time passed, but the pain finally subsided.
Zhan Jingting struggled to get up, took a shower, and then came out of the bathroom.
As soon as she lay down, Qiao Wanwan rolled over and hugged him, her sleepy voice soft and sweet, "Jingting, where did you go..."
"To the bathroom." Zhan Jingting pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."
The girl in his arms was no longer moving.
In the darkness, the man slowly closed his eyes, concealing all his anxieties...
......
Qiao Wanwan received a call from Wen Lixuan a few days later.
